Of Orcs And Men Screenshots Capture More Oppressive Orctimes

A clear theme is emerging: maybe being an orc is actually kinda depressing.

You'd think being an orc would be more... mindless. You know how it typically goes -- grunting, lodging a mace in some poor goblin's head, shopping for a foundation to match that pearly green skin tone, et cetera. However, as the trailer for Of Orcs and Men showed us, orcs are actually a repressed people -- at the hands of us filthy humans, no less -- and these new screenshots aren't looking any cheerier.

I see so many shades of Generic RPG Gray! But hey, there are two glimmers of hope here -- one is that Of Orcs and Men is at least looking fairly polished, and the second is that them orcs are now fighting back. We know Cyanide's last RPG -- a take on Game of Thrones -- didn't fare too well, so we'll be waiting till fall to see if Of Orcs and Men sees a better fate.
